NAME

Search::OpenSearch::Engine - abstract base class

SYNOPSIS

use Search::OpenSearch::Engine;
my $engine = Search::OpenSearch::Engine->new(
   index   => [qw( path/to/index1 path/to/index2 )],
   facets  => {
       names       => [qw( color size flavor )],
       sample_size => 10_000,
   },
   fields  => [qw( color size flavor )],
);
my $response = $engine->search(
   q           => 'quick brown fox',   # query
   s           => 'rank desc',         # sort order
   o           => 0,                   # offset
   p           => 25,                  # page size
   h           => 1,                   # highlight query terms in results
   c           => 0,                   # return count stats only (no results)
   L           => 'field|low|high',    # limit results to inclusive range
   f           => 1,                   # include facets
   format      => 'XML',               # or JSON
   link        => 'http://yourdomain.foo/opensearch/',

DESCRIPTION

Search::OpenSearch::Engine is an abstract base class. It defines some sane method behavior based on the SWISH::Prog::Searcher API.

METHODS

This class is a subclass of Rose::ObjectX::CAF. Only new or overridden methods are documented here.

init

Sets up the new object.

init_searcher

Subclasses must implement this method. If the Searcher object acts like a SWISH::Prog::Searcher, then search() will Just Work. Otherwise, your Engine subclass should likely override search() as well.

search( args )

See the SYNOPSIS.

Returns a Search::OpenSearch::Response object based on the format specified in args.

set_limit( args )

Called internally by search(). The args will be three key/value pairs, with keys "field," "low", and "high".

facets

Get/set a Search::OpenSearch::Facets object.

index

Get/set the location of the inverted indexes to be searched. The value is intented to be used in init_searcher().

searcher

The value returned by init_searcher().

fields

Get/set the arrayref of field names to be fetched for each search result.

type

Should return a unique identifier for your Engine subclass. Default is to croak().

The base URI for Responses. Passed to Response->link.

get_facets( query, results )

Checks the cache for facets related to query and, if found, returns them. If not found, calls build_facets(), which must be implemented by each Engine subclass.

build_facets( query, results )

Default will croak. Engine subclasses must implement this method to provide Facet support.

cache

Get/set the internal CHI object. Defaults to the File driver.

cache_ttl

Get/set the cache key time-to-live. Default is 1 hour.
